GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks rally, Treasury yields rise after Fed lifts rates by 75 bps

By magenet 4 days ago

By 2:42 p.m. EDT (1842 GMT), U.S. shares had extended gains after an initial pullback following the rate announcement. The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI leaped 1.8%, the S&P 500 .SPX jumped 1.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC climbed 2.9%.

MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe .MIWD00000PUS also leapt 1.13%.

Some investors said trading was choppy as the market was still trying to weigh the risks of surging prices versus a cooling economy, which is a likely outcome if inflation were brought under control.

“The market doesn’t know what it wants. It wants higher interest rates to stave off inflation, but it also realizes higher interest rates make the cost of doing business more expensive,” said Jake Dollarhide, the chief executive officer at Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

U.S. Treasury yields also rose in volatile trade after the rate increase. The yield on benchmark 10-year Treasuries US10YT=RR rose to 3.421%, and the yield on two-year Treasuries US2YT=RR also climbed to 3.441%, but still under Tuesday’s high 3.456%, a level last seen in 2007. US/

At a news conference following the rate rise, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that either a 50- or 75-basis-point rate increase at its next policy meeting in July seemed most likely, and that the economy is strong enough to handle tighter policy.

“Whether or not we can escape this without a recession is coming into question,” said Ellen Hazen, chief market strategist at F.L.Putnam Investment Management in Massachusetts.

“The runway for them to have a soft landing just got shorter and narrower, meaning that they are anticipating higher inflation, they are anticipating higher unemployment, they are anticipating lower GDP,” Hazen said.

INFLATION FEARS

Worries about rising borrowing costs and global inflation have been hammering financial markets all year.

World stocks are down over 20%, bond markets have been routed and fears that drastic Fed action could tip the world into a recession means the Fed’s moves later will be crucial for traders.

But world stocks and bonds had rallied on Wednesday before the Fed meeting, buoyed by a surprise announcement from the European Central Bank (ECB) that it will work to avoid a debt crisis due to rising borrowing costs by supporting high-debt member states and devising a new tool to manage the risks.

Though some investors thought the ECB’s proposed measures were not bold enough, European shares jumped, and government bond yields in countries such as Italy, Spain and Portugal – which will benefit from the ECB’s plans – pulled back.

Given many U.S. borrowing rates are linked to yields, financial conditions have already tightened markedly there even before the Fed hikes.

With Wednesday’s rate rise fully anticipated by the market, the dollar index =USD gave up early gains after the Fed’s move, and was down 0.11% in early afternoon. That helped the euro EUR=EBS to trim initial losses to stand flat at $1.04205.

Italy’s 10-year bond yield, which stands to benefit the most from the ECB’s plans, was last down at 3.91% IT10YT=RR, above its session low of 3.799%. Spanish and Portuguese 10-year yields also came off their day’s lows but were still sharply down on the day. ES10YT=RR, PT10YT=RR.

“I think essentially it is the bare minimum of what could be expected, but I also believe it’s the most realistic outcome of what they could compromise (on) today,” Piet Christiansen, chief analyst at Danske Bank in Copenhagen, said of the ECB’s announcement.

Still, the ECB’s move allowed bond markets everywhere to rally after their recent hammering, with German Bund yields swooping down to 1.67% and 10-year Treasury yields US10YT=RR dropping to 3.37% from Tuesday’s peak of 3.498%.

Gold, which has taken a hammering from inflation and a sky-high dollar, also rose on the Fed’s rate rise. It jumped 1.4% to $1,830.31 an ounce XAU=. GOL/
